Kyle Busch endured a wild day at Talladega Superspeedway to win Saturday's Aaron's 312. Busch's Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Joey Logano provided a push that catapulted Busch to his first NASCAR Nationwide Series victory at the legendary 2.66-mile Alabama track.

 

The race finished under caution when Mike Wallace got airborne on the final lap of the second attempt at a green-white-checkered finish.

 

Turner Motorsports teammates Jason Leffler, James Buescher and Reed Sorenson crashed together on the first green-white-checkered restart.

 

Busch overcame involvement in a late race incident to win his fourth Nationwide race of the 2011 season.

 

"Look at the thing," said Kyle Busch after climbing from the damaged No. 18 Toyota. "I got hit like three times on the left side."

 

Joey Logano finished second followed by Joe Nemechek, Brad Keselowski and Elliott Sadler.

 

Sixth through 10th were Trevor Bayne, Justin Allgaier, Aric Almirola, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Reed Sorenson.

 

Jason Leffler retains the 2011 Nationwide point lead as the series heads to Nashville, Tennessee.
